Out of State Buyer's Guide

With our extensive inventory of new Subaru
models and pre-owned
vehicles, we're the destination in the greater Providence, Rhode Island, region for a desirable
lineup of vehicles. But, that's not all. With our close proximity to
Massachusetts and Connecticut, out-of-state drivers often turn to us to see
what our dealership has to offer.

If you hail from New England or New York, you
should know that buying a car out-of-state is fairly straight forward;
especially with the help of our team at Balise Subaru. We're committed to
making buying out-of-state easy by handling the titling and registration
paperwork for you so that you can settle into the driver's seat of your new
Subaru model and enjoy the ride.

For peace of mind, you will find answers to all of
your concerns right here on this page; starting with emissions requirements and
followed by sales tax collection and transporting your vehicle back to
Massachusetts, Connecticut or another surrounding state.

What You Need to Know About Buying a Car
Out-of-State

Emissions Standards: California
is known for its tough emission standards. But, it's not the only state to
implement these standards. Rhode Island, for instance, is now in compliance
with the California Air Resources Board (CARB); meaning that if you purchase a
vehicle here in Rhode Island, your vehicle will meet emissions standards in all
50 states.

Sales Tax Collection: If you
found a vehicle that you like here at our showroom, but you don't reside in
Rhode Island, fear not. Just because you're purchasing a vehicle at our
showroom but you live in Massachusetts or Connecticut doesn't mean you will pay
sales tax twice. In fact, you will only pay sales tax to the state that you
register your vehicle in.

Transporting Your Vehicle Back
Home: At Balise Subaru, we make this process smooth and easy for our
out-of-state drivers. All of our sales associates understand all of the
comprehensive rules implemented by the DMV. We will also provide you with a
temporary registration and license plate so you can legally drive your
vehicle back home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I be taxed twice if I
purchase a vehicle out-of-state?: Fortunately, no. Prospective buyers
should know that you will only be taxed in the state that you register the
vehicle in.

Will you hold a Subaru vehicle or
another model for me?: To ensure that you drive home in the car of
your dreams we recommend contacting a member of your team and discuss your
out-of-state situation with us. From there we can provide you with a
personalized answer.

Will I be able to drive my car home
across state lines hassle-free?: Absolutely. We will complete all
registration paperwork for you and even provide you with a temporary license
plate.
